What this is
Resort Wedding Rules compares the wedding packages of 14 all-inclusive resort brands: 12 free packages and 35 paid ones. For each we track the price, what it takes to qualify for the free version (nights, rooms, room category), whether the ceremony is legal or symbolic and what a legal upgrade costs, the guest limits, deposits, day and time rules, and the fine print.
How we check (method)
We read each brand's own wedding pages, terms and conditions, and brand-published PDFs. Five key facts per package (price, inclusions, qualifying conditions, legal/symbolic, restrictions) carry a badge: Official ✓ (read directly on the brand's own page or PDF), Brand snippet (official brand text seen only in a search result, on the brand's booking platform, or in a brand travel-agent sheet, usually because the main site blocked our checker), or Not confirmed (third-party sources only, or not found). We never mark a fact Official unless we read it on an official page. Where sources disagree, we say so on the page. All packages were last checked on 2026-10-24.
